Susan Carroll -Just noticed that you’ve reorganized your recipes and it is so helpful. I did not mind scrolling through your blog to find a specific recipe of yours but this makes the process faster.ReplyCancel

landriav -Oh good! Thanks so much for mentioning it Susan! The menu list was getting pretty long. 🙂ReplyCancel

Lyn Adkins -Love your site – my sister sent it to me – she lives in San Fran and I in Raleigh. LIke you, we both have autoimmune diseases and have both been going to naturopathic doctors. My Doc has been fabulous – of course changed my entire diet, did the Cyrex lab tests and i learned that i am allergic to gluten and milk butyrophilin so no dairy no chocolate – sucks – as i was a cheese and choc aholic. Anyway, i’ve been on the anti-inflammatory diet and now doing much of the Paleo diet. I have never felt better in my life. So i am able to eat fine like this but i struggle with the kids. I am trying to get them off dairy too. I really struggle with what to pack my daughter for her school lunches….any suggestions?

Your recipes look fabulous and i can’t wait to start making them! Just yesterday, I wanted to make chicken salad.

landriav -Hey Lyn! Thanks so much for your comment and email. It’s amazing how all foods have an anti or pro-flammatory level, isn’t it? And it does make such a difference. I’m so glad to hear your story and hear you’re feeling so much better!! As for the kiddos, if you’re trying to switch them from cow’s milk to something else, I would suggest the almond milk since the consistency is similar, and it tastes even sweeter even though if you get the 60 calorie one (my son loves this stuff), it only has 6 grams of sugar.

As for lunches, my daughter will eat spaghetti chili most of the time (I cook a lot on Sundays!) or chicken tet or black bean soup, with either a side of some carrots or cucumbers, a few dark chocolate almonds, and some pistacios or olives. I think the key to kids lunch, if they don’t have something big and warm they like (leftovers), then lots of little things in fun containers (you can even get small disposable containers) so like a handful of nuts, gluten free some granola, some grapes or fruit, some veggies, maybe a turkey stick, or turkey wrapped in cheese (if you do dairy) or do apples in one container and almond butter or peanut butter in another so they get to dip.
